Imagine being an aspiring manager for a team and checking their fan forums to gauge the feeling of the club, anyone would take one look on here and think fuck that!
I'm disappointed they haven't appointed anyone as yet and if Cawley is correct and Jones has yet to have his planned meeting this week then even more so, suggests no appointment before the weekend.
You would think that any SMT worth their salt on seeing the team not having won for say eight games would start to consider what alternatives are out there should they have to pull the trigger in three, four, five games time. In fact, they should always surely have a constantly evolving list of those who they would be interested in, whether in or out of work. Considering the position we are in then it's imperative they get someone in asap although of course they need to get the right person.
At the moment it just feels to me like they are dragging their heels.
Spot on. Any half decent club has a list of head coaches they want. The next head coach should have been in the day after Appleton was sacked.
Be a pretty good pub quiz question. Not sure how many teams have not had a first team manager / head coach at the end of both transfer windows from the same season.
so, Nathan Jones gets appointed tomorrow & then we scrabbling around for half a dozen of "his" players before 11pm on Thursday. Great planning guys.
Come on now let's not be silly, deals take weeks from start to finish so the idea that anyone coming in after the sacking of Appleton who would have much a say in any transfers is ridiculous thinking. Surely this manager is being appointed based on can you get us out of the shit with this bunch of players and then we'll back you in the summer.
Maybe the reason why Jones hasn't been announced as he's taken one look at our squad & laughed. Currently we have a team full of duff defenders & too many non attacking midfielders. Combine that with no wingers I have no clue where the goals are going to come from.
Oh yes I do......Own Goals. 2 out of the last 3. As the kids of today say.....Epic.
Why would he bother going for 2 interviews if that was the case? More likely would be that after meeting the SMT he's thought you're a bunch of clowns fuck this. Charlie can then leak to his mates that Jones wasn't their first choice anyway.

Lots of half decent teams have either sacked or lost a manager and had to have a caretaker manager in whilst they find a replacement.

It’s really not that unusual a process.
Most teams know who they want. Interviewing multiple candidates is pretty amateur.

If we don’t appoint a manager tomorrow then the owners have fucked up again. Surely they should have learned from August? We could all see that Appleton was not going to work and were calling for the sacking for weeks. They left it late and that will now impact what we can do before the window shuts
Going into deadline day twice in the same season without a manager screams incompetence

A quick glance on the Huddersfield Forum, who have not got a manger the day after Moore was sacked, and they reckon they are interviewing 9 different managers.

Really wouldn't bother me if they got one in tomorrow or not. As long as it's the right one then I'm happy to wait. One of the reasons they f***d up last time because there really wasn't anyone suitable available. Whether they felt the fans would be on there back if they didn't put someone in place I don't know? But the whole thing seemed rushed and I don't think anyone was convinced about Appleton from the start, and I Include Scott in that.

It's only been a week since Appleton left, and it's not as if Nathan Jones or whoever being unveiled at The Valley today would make much difference to the last 2 days of the window anyway. I'd rather take slightly longer and make the right appointment.
No player is going to sign to Charlton just because of the manager, as managers come and go so quickly these days. I'm sure Holden wasn't the reason Alfie May joined us for example.
Zola lives in Bickley. Mick Mcarthy lives in Chislehurst
I thought zola lived in chislehurst and McCarthy in farnborough village!
Paul Elliott lives in Farnborough Village and McCarthy in Chislehurst. Thought Zola lived in Chelsfied, as did Gus Poyet.
Ben Reeves and Kishishev both lived in Bickely (in the roads either side of mine) when they were with the club.
You can't pop out for a pint of milk around here without bumping into a pro footballer.
Mark Fish also lived in Chislehurst……Lower Camden near The Bickley Arms I believe. It’s where he fell onto a glass coffee table and seriously injured himself…..in fact he might have died had he fallen in a different position! There were “rumours” he was pissed at the time, I repeat “rumours.”
Interesting interview here with Jones about his time at Southampton but perhaps more telling is the last answer about what project he wants next….’to build a club on solid foundations’

Would you have rather kept Appleton just to say we have someone on a deadline day?
Regardless who did you intend to refer to in your update?
So not directly employed by Charlton, he is part of GFP.
I would say it is a split on the U.K. board over Jones.
My query though was who do you understand to be the (UK) Board?
Im not being facetious I just don’t know who that set of people are in the context of deciding the manager.
Methven, Carter, Rodwell, Elliot, Scott and Lenagan (which is a person who doesn't seems to be out the spot light, but seems to have a bigger say than most)
I am officially going mad. Last night I had a dream (nightmare) that the club announced the new manager..........Appleton. They decided there was no better options, so reappointed him. Woke up convinced this had happened 😳

It's football. You've seen their record. Spend the poxy money and bring in the best.
I hear Appleton interviewed well.
Who gives a shit!

Hopefully he gets the chance
Eight board members. Eight co-owners. Holden appointed for eight months.
Anyone else spotted the sinister pattern emerging here?
